Chapter 19

All soldiers were reporting to the main room of the palace. Men, women and young adults of the saiyan army were assembled and waiting for their king to come and give orders and instruction. Everyone's heart was racing with fear and excitement, nothing of anything happened in twenty-one years. The army had no purpose after "defeating" the Kantu who were now back. The Kantu was the strongest enemy of the saiyans and the saiyans were naïve enough to believe that they had defeated such a powerful race. The saiyan youth knew nothing of this and what happened all those years ago, they were either to young to remember or not even born yet. Kakarott was standing silently his eyes fixed on nothing and his mind wandered to the past when he, Vegeta and Gohan fought side by side against the Kantu. Kakarott knew it took every ounce of power they possessed to defeat their enemy, could it be easier now or harder? Goten and Pan were standing next to Kakarott and Gohan and they looked over at the two with curious faces. Pan and Goten did not understand what was going on, and they didn't know who the Kantu were. All they knew was that this was serious since Kakarott who was always happy and never really worried about anything was very worried and serious today, and that was what worried Goten and Pan. Suddenly Vegeta walked in front of his soldiers on a pedestal and faced them with tons of worry plastered all over his face. He gripped the sides of the pedestal and took a deep breath; apparently whatever Vegeta was going to do was not going to be easy. Trunks and Bra were in their battle suits and they looked the same way Pan and Goten did, confused and frightened. Vegeta sighed once again and for a second he looked over at Kakarott and then he began to speak.

"It was a little over twenty-one years ago that we crushed and defeated the Kantu. We thought they were gone for good. We believed that they would never dare face our mighty race ever again only to lose and be crushed worse then before. All these things we believed and thought as absolutely true were all wrong." Vegeta said looking very distraught. Kakarott focused his gaze on Vegeta and Goten and Pan saw him do it. Vegeta glared back and nodded oddly, he then cleared his throat and began to speak again.

"The King of the Kantu has left a message for us…a message which I thought or should I say a message WE thought would never come to our ears. He wishes for us to surrender Vegeta and give it up to them." Vegeta finished.

A wave of mumbles filled the assembly and Vegeta gazed at as many people possible, he saw angry faces and sad faces, he saw rage and sorrow, for the first time as king he did not know what to do for his people. Suddenly someone in the crowd, a young girl, spoke up to the king, "Your majesty, I do not wish to surrender our home! I would rather die fighting to keep it as ours then to give it up to the Kantu!"

Vegeta sighed and suddenly a wave of agreements followed, people hollered saying, "We shall fight to the death!"

Vegeta shook his head, "If we fight to keep our home, we will be annihilated by the Kantu army. They have grown in number and in strength…to face them and fight would mean certain death for a number of us if not all of us here. So I will ask again…do we surrender or do we fight?"

At first the room was silent then Nuka began to chant out, "Fight, Fight, Fight, Fight."

Pan, Goten and Kakarott looked over at him as well as Vegeta, Bra and Trunks…Nuka kept on saying, "Fight, Fight!"

Suddenly the entire assembly was chanting "FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!"

Vegeta had nothing left to say, for he heard the wish of his army. Fight to the death no matter what. Kakarott continued to gaze at Vegeta and Vegeta gazed back at Kakarott, although Pan, Goten, Bra and Trunks didn't know it…Vegeta and Kakarott were having a little conversation.

"So to the death huh Vegeta?"

"What else can I do Kakarott? The people have spoken, we fight for our home."

"Like the way we fought all those years ago? You do realize that it took everything we had in us Vegeta to defeat the Kantu the first time. What makes you think it would be wise to fight them now when they are stronger and in larger numbers?"

"What else can I do Kakarott? Tell the soldiers no?"

"You do realize that this will not be easy sire."

"Life was not meant to be easy, otherwise it wouldn't be life. There is always one problem after another that must always be addressed. We are saiyans, we will not back down from the shadow of an enemies approach, they don't wish it and neither do I."

"I do not wish for my youngest son and granddaughter to die. I'm sure you do not wish for your children to die."

"Kakarott, the thing about them is that they will make their own choice about fighting the Kantu. Perhaps they may do better then we did and not make the same idiotic mistakes that certain big dumb saiyans made twenty-one years ago!"

"I was not the only one fighting that day Vegeta! You are at fault as well…even Gohan is at fault…if anything this battle shouldn't be fought by us this time, what do you say?"

"I say your crazier then before! If you do not fight Kakarott we will lose. Perhaps…just perhaps…we should use the legendary attack this time…to help us in our battle."

"However this goes Vegeta is unknown so I say we do not get ahead of ourselves and we stay smart and do not do things without serious thought, planning and consideration."

"Hmph, very well."

With that the link was cut and Vegeta and Goku spoke no more.

Pan and Goten could sense that something weird happened…but they did know what Kakarott was hiding.

"Grandpa, what is going on?" Pan asked.

Kakarott looked over at Pan and smirked, "Battle."

Vegeta then bashed the pedestal and flew up getting everyone's attention, "The Kantu await us outside! So…outside we shall now go!"
